Mali: Humanitarian snapshot (as of 23 January 2013) (EN/FR)

While military operations are ongoing in northern and central areas of Mali, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate. Humanitarian access has become more limited and the security situation had led some humanitarian partners to close or reduce activities, including in areas previously considered secure, like Kayes and Segou. Humanitarian partners do their utmost to assess the situation and respond to the most urgent needs.
